Greenwich High School junior Olivia Hallisey is the Google Global Science Fair 2015 Grand Prize Winner. Prompted by the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Africa, Olivia developed a quick, inexpensive, and accurate detection of the virus that does not require refrigeration.
As the Grand Prize winner, Olivia will receive $50,000 in scholarship funding. The $50,000 Google scholarship is intended to further the Grand Prize winner’s education.
